Abstract
Methods of physical and chemical analysis (DTA, MSA, RFA, as well as the definition of microhardness and density) studied the phase equilibrium in the system Pb-MnSe and built its state diagram. It is established that the Pb-MnSe system is a quasi-binary cross-section of the triple system Mn-Pb-Se and is of the eutectic type. The components Pb and MnSe form between the degenerate eutectic composition, which corresponds to 3 mol. % MnSe and melts at 310 ° C. It was found that solid solutions on the basis of MnSe in the system at room temperature reach 3.5 mol. % Pb, and solid solutions on the basis of Pb is practically not installed.
